Leo Burnett Worldwide Names New Chief Creative Officer

Advertising agency Leo Burnett Worldwide on Monday promoted Mark Tutssel to chief creative officer, putting him in a position to oversee creative work from its 94 offices.

Tutssel, 47, currently deputy chief creative officer, will succeed Miguel Angel Furones in the job, the agency said in a statement. Furones will work with Tutssel through the rest of the year to manage the transition.

"When I joined Leo Burnett, I identified Mark as our creative leader of the future," Chief Executive Tom Bernardin said. "With Miguel Angel, I have groomed him for this important role, and I believe there's no better candidate to fill it."
